The Glen Fee
at the Galveston
Island Railroad Museum in Galveston, TX. (This is the opposite
side of the car from what is shown above.)
It isn't visible
in this shot, but there is a Carnival cruise ship tied up parallel
to the Glen Fee, barely a hundred yards out of frame.
Surprisingly,
the salt air has not been too hard on the car.

Evidence of
the car's Freedom Train heritage is scarce. Here, some white paint
shows under the blue paint on the car end.

According to
the museum, after the Freedom Train the Glen Fee served on the New
York Central's 20th Century Limited until 1963.
